London


As promised, this is a short report on our short London trip. We traveled from Den Haag by bus. And we used hop-on hop-off service, and the first day we were really hopping on and off the buses. I was having a terrible fever at that time, I sneezed, coughed and my leg was aching. However, none of that had stopped me from exploring London. Hop-on Hop-off is very practical and time-saving for people on short trip like us. The service that we used has 4 different routes that brought us to tourist spots all over London City. One day travel ticket had cost us £23 per person. We were able to stopover almost all interesting places such as Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, Harrods, Buckingham Palace, London Bridge, London Eye (just to name a few) and we did had an ample time promenading through the famous Oxford Street, but someway I regretted that we didn't have enough time to visit Malaysian Hall and Royal Albert Hall. There were so many statues and monuments, as well as STARBUCKS! OMG! starbucks is everywhere!

Although London is obviously an english speaking place, nonetheless I felt it is not a place for me. Or perhaps my expectation was too high. I don't want to dwell too much about it, only people who had been there knows what I mean. All in all, London is a great place to visit still. Enjoy the photos!
